Mustered...

... for a Hobbit bunker playtest of Ross Mac's 'A Rattle of Dice':


42mm, classic toy soldier style (courtesy of Irregular Miniatures, in the city of York), shiny finish.


They may look suspiciously like Johnny Reb and Blue belly Yank,


But I'm going to play them as 'Army Grey' and 'Army Blue',



Just as soon as I get a bit of writing I've been contracted to do out of the way,



along with a few jobs on the allotment plot...


But, at least the little fellows have been mustered.

    It's your fault, Kinch - I read your Min Wargames article this morning over breakfast and it reminded me that getting photos onto ones blog is vital, and better photos than nothing.

    Yeeehahhhh! Can't wait!
    p.s I went for a 28mm solo game instead of a 40mm one today after all.

    Lovely figures, I do like a shiny finish. Good point about getting stuff onto the blog, even just photos... I must try harder.

      Yes, toy soldier just has to be shiny. I think Kinch is right - better just photos than nothing. You MUST try harder!

    I didn't really warm to the pictures of the Irregular ACW on their site but I must say these two armed mobs look great! (Nice zouaves!)

      As know you know, there's nothing that cuts a finer dash than a Zouave.

      Thanks, Brian. I think I need a few more though - perhaps another general, or an engineer or two, or a semaphore type unit....

      BTW, Historifigs has some marvelous old 40mm ACW figures from Scruby. I believe a number of them are HE sculpts.
